Introduction to ETHX-DS3-1-LT and ETHX-DS3-2-LT Zhone's ETHX-DS3-1-LT and ETHX-DS3-2-LT are loop bonding Ethernet extenders that provide up to 45 Mbps (ETHX-DS3-1-LT) or 90Mbps (ETHX-DS3-2-LT) of symmetrical bandwidth using DS3 lines for transport. The ETHX-DS3-1-LT features one DS3 port, and the ETHX-DS3-2-LT has two DS3 ports, each capable of up to 45 Mbps bandwidth. One or two ports may be used to deliver Ethernet connections over DS3 facilities of any given length.
Package Contents Unpack and Inspect the network extender. If there is any visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact your sales or service provider. Release Notes Before installing your network extender, review the release notes for your model. These are available on the “Service and Support” page under the documentation heading at the Zhone website. http://www.zhone.
Powering Up the Network Extender The DC power terminal block on the network extender has five terminals: two positive, two negative, and one with no connection. Only one positive terminal and one negative terminal pair need be connected for operational purposes. The second positive and negative terminal pair may be connected to a backup DC power supply for redundancy. There is also a system ground terminal on the back panel above the power connector. Connect this terminal to a reliable source of ground.
Power Connection – AC Power 1. The AC power supply is shipped with the power terminal strip already attached. No AC power supply other than the one supplied with the ETHX-DS3-x-LT is approved for use in powering the unit. Using any other AC power supply could cause the unit to be non-compliant to emissions and safety regulations. 2 Plug the power terminal strip into the power connector on the back of the unit. 3 Plug the AC power cord into the AC power supply and into a compatible AC outlet. 4.
Connecting the DS3 Lines The primary feature of the network extender is loop bonding capability, although both the provider and subscriber units are able to function with a single DS3 connection. Loop Bonded Connection Using two DS3 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) multiplies the speed and data passing capability of the network extender. Two DS3 lines also act as a backup should one of the lines become disabled.
2. Verify all connections: the DS3 LINK/ALARM LEDs on the front of the network extender will pulse green to indicate the connections are established and operational. Single DS3 Connection A single line connection can be established between a single port subscriber unit and either a single port or dual port ETHX-DS3-x-LT provider unit. Likewise, a single line connection can also be established between a single port provider unit and either a single port or dual port ETHX-DS3-x-LT subscriber units.
LED Indicators Table 2. LEDs (1 of 2) LED State Indication Additional Information 10/100 Ethernet Connections LINK/ACT Pulsing Green Standard operation Traffic is flowing without any problems. Solid Green Ethernet connection is established If the Ethernet LINK/ACT LED is illuminated but not the Ethernet 100 LED then a 10 Mbps connection has been established. If the Ethernet 100 LED is also illuminated, then a 100 Mbps connection has been established.
Table 2. LEDs (2 of 2) Additional Information LED State Indication DS3 Connections LINK/ACT (Ports 1 or 1&2) Flashing Green* DS3 connection is established and active Traffic is flowing. Solid Green DS3 link A connection exists but there is indication of a problem with the DS3 line. Solid Amber Remote Alarm Indication (RAI). The outgoing connection from the unit has been lost; no data is being transmitted. Yellow alarm.
Web Interface The network extender’s integral web management lets you configure and monitor the network extender using a standard web browser. To manage a Provider unit using web management, connect your PC to any Ethernet port of the Provider unit. By default, the Subscriber unit can be managed by the web management through its Ethernet ports. If you wish to manage the subscriber unit via a DS3 ports, and the unit still has the default IP address, you must first create a static ARP in your PC.
Web Interface System Requirements Web Browser – Required for running web management. Compatible web browsers include, but are not limited to, Microsoft Internet Explorer (v4.0 or higher) and Netscape Navigator (v4.0 or higher). web management is optimized for use with Internet Explorer. Use your browser's default settings when running web management. JavaScript must be enabled.
192.168.254.251 (for a subscriber unit) into the Address field and press Enter. The web server opening screen appears. 10. Click on >> Next >>. The login dialog box appears. Log in using: Username: superuser Password: Password Note – Username and password are case sensitive. Enter them exactly as shown The web management home page appears.
From this screen you can: Click on . . . To configure . . . Management Config. IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Inband Management VLAN ID and Priority Advanced Config. System Name and Location, Management IP Address Filter, TFTP and Telnet access HTTP Password General and Superuser Passwords SNMP Config.
Configure Provider or Subscriber Mode To reconfigure a unit from provider to subscriber mode, open the web management home page as described above. Observe the designation displayed on the center right side of graphical view of the front of the unit. It will display either the word “Provider” or “Subscriber” indicating the current mode of the unit. To make a change, click on the “Pro/Sub Cfg” button which is located just left of center on the graphical view of the front of the unit.
Command Line Interface The network extender can be managed with a Command Line Interface (CLI) through either a direct PC to COM (Communication) Port connection or from a remote network connection via Telnet. CLI System Requirements Straight-Through 8-Pin Modular Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing a direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter. DB9 Female to 8-Pin Modular Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC's RS232 serial port for use with the Ethernet cable.
Logging Into the CLI Once your terminal emulation program has been launched, device information is displayed, followed by a request for username and password. You must log in as a superuser in order to make configuration changes. Username: superuser Password: Password Using the CLI to Establish In band Management Option 1: After you have logged in, enter a question mark (?) to list the available commands. CLI Set commands are used to establish inband management. For example: set slot 1 ip_address 137.
Resetting the Network Extender to Factory Defaults The network extender supports a reset process that may be used to delete the current configuration and return it to the factory defaults, including the default password. Procedure To return the network extender to its factory default configuration: 1. The reset button is located behind a small hole on the left side of the faceplate of the network extender. Use a straightened paper clip to gently push the button and let it go. 2.
